THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL Friday 10th – Monday 13th APRIL 2015

CONFERENCE INFORMATION

We invite you to attend the 2015 Classical Association Annual Conference, which will be hosted by the University of Bristol. We look forward to welcoming you to Bristol. We hope the programme will be academically stimulating, as well as reflecting the breadth of Classics and the interests and specialisms of the Department of Classics at Bristol.

The conference will run from late afternoon on Friday 10th April until before lunch Monday 13th April and will take place in the University’s Wills Memorial Building on Queens Road. The Wills Memorial Building is part of the main university complex but is also close to the city centre and Clifton village. The city itself combines medieval streets and the historic harbour-side with modern night-life. Plenary lectures will take place in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building, and panels will be in rooms located throughout the Wills Memorial Building. Registration will take place in the entrance hall and mezzanine floor of the Wills Memorial Building. Lunch on the Saturday and Sunday, for those who have booked it, will be in the Victoria Rooms which are a 5 minute walk from the Wills Memorial Building. Alternatively, if you do not book the conference lunch there are a wide range of cafés, restaurants, sandwich shops and supermarkets in the vicinity of the Wills Building. Tea and coffee will be provided on the mezzanine floor of the Wills Memorial Building. Accommodation will be in hotels in Clifton and the city centre.

Highlights of the conference will include:

 Presidential Address Professor Peter Rhodes (Durham) Ktema es aiei (A Possession for All Time)  Two plenary sessions: Professor Miriam Leonard (UCL) Tragedy and the Posthuman Professor Shane Butler (Bristol) Homer’s Deep: John Addington Symonds as Deep Classicist

 A special joint SCS (formerly APA)/CA panel entitled W(h)ither Philology  Over 60 panels and roundtable discussions, with a mix of established and junior researchers from all over the world, addressing a broad range of topics on Greek and Latin Language and Literature, Greek and Roman History, epigraphy, Greek and Roman visual and material culture, Classics teaching in schools and universities as well as on the conference themes of the senses, reception, eco-criticism and the sustainability of classics in the 21st century.  A film screening: ‘The Colours of Antiquity in Silent Cinema’.  An evening with writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes.  An opening drinks reception on Friday 10th at Bristol City Museum, where the Egyptian Gallery will be open for guests to view.  Drinks reception and Gala Dinner at the Grand Thistle Hotel, the oldest working hotel in Bristol, on the final night.  Excursions to the Roman Baths at Bath and the SS Great Britain in Bristol.  A street art tour of Bristol 2

CLASSICS AND ANCIENT HISTORY AT BRISTOL Classics has been at the heart of the University of Bristol since its foundation in 1909; the Wills Chair of Greek was one of the three original chairs, along with Mathematics and Physics, endowed by H.O. Wills, whose gift of £100,000 in 1908 was the crucial step in University College obtaining its royal charter. Distinguished holders of the Greek chair have included H.D.F. Kitto, N.G.L. Hammond and John Gould. The Latin chair has been held by William Beare, Niall Rudd and Charles Martindale. Gillian Clark FBA was the first Professor of Ancient History, and Bristol has also been served by notable classical archaeologists like Peter Warren; both these distinguished scholars are still active in the research life of the university since their retirements.

Today the Department of Classics & Ancient History is part of the School of Humanities, the largest and most successful School in the Faculty of Arts, together with English, Historical Studies and Religion & Theology. It currently comprises fourteen permanent members of staff, a postgraduate community of over 30 students, and roughly 250 undergraduates, more or less equally divided between the Classics, Classical Studies and Ancient History programmes.

Over the last twenty-five years Bristol has played a pioneering role in the study of classical reception, with research projects like Receptions of Rome, Thucydides: reception, reinterpretation and influence and the new Deep Classics initiative, and its role in major publishing projects like the Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature. Other research strengths are myth, with an important series of Bristol Myth Conferences and publications; ancient history and historiography; and early Christianity.

The Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition plays a particularly important role in promoting classical research. Funded wholly by donations and research grants, over the last decade it has supported a series of post-doctoral fellows (many of whom have gone on to permanent academic position), organised workshops and conferences, and put on events to engage with the wider public and promote the study of the ancient world in local schools.

A guided tour of the Bath complex will be led by museum staff

SS Great Britain: Built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and first launched in 1843 the SS Great Britain was the largest vessel of her time. Designed for the transatlantic luxury passenger trade she originally held 252 passengers. Recovered from the Falkland Islands in the 1970s, she now resides in Bristol’s dry harbour. With the lower sections of the ship protected from the elements by special dehumidification chamber, she has since been restored to something of her original glory and now provides a fascinating insight into sea travel at the time. A guided tour will be provided by museum staff.

Blackbeard to Banksy: The Ultimate Bristol Walking Tour: This wonderful tour takes you through 1000 years of Bristol’s history right up to the present day. Stroll through the old Saxon town and beautiful harbour side whilst seeing the best street art in the city. Local historian and artist Duncan Mckellar will show you the highlights of Bristol’s culture and history.

Special joint SCS (formerly APA)/CA Panel. W(h)ither Philology Convener: Cynthia Damon (U Penn) on behalf of SCS "W(h)ither philology?" presents four papers that grapple with the contemporary meaning of and outlook for philology, issues that have particular salience in the wake of the 2014 reinvention of the American Philological Association as the Society for Classical Studies. Questions about the "project of philology" are once again in the air, and not just among classicists. Scholars of other ancient literary traditions claim philology as a superordinate disciplinary umbrella (see, e.g., http://www.forum- transregionale-studien.de/en/revisiting-the-canons-of-textual-scholarship/profile/general-information.html). And practitioners of digital humanities proclaim new opportunities, and new urgencies, for philological enterprise (see, e.g., http://sites.tufts.edu/perseusupdates/2013/04/04/the-open-philology-project-and-humboldt-chair-of-digital-humanities-at- leipzig/). The papers in this session range from critiques of philology's traditional claims to expositions of philological work at the digital frontier. They include theoretically sophisticated understandings of what philology is and technologically sophisticated manifestations of what philology does.

Roundtable: Schools, Education and Sustainable Development Convenor: Genevieve Liveley (Chair, CUCD Education Committee) Convened by the CUCD Education Committee, and responding to one of the key themes for the 2015 CA conference, this roundtable discussion panel will explore the current and future grassroots sustainability of Classics as a subject taught in schools, communities, and universities. Key questions for provocation, consideration and debate will include: How sustainable are university outreach initiatives? If universities are prepared to teach Latin and Greek for free (and to accept students onto degree programmes with no prior qualifications in the subject), what are the risks to schools and to the future of the subject? How have recent government reforms to qualifications and curriculum policy innovations impacted upon Classics? What are the wider ramifications of moves to make Classics qualifications more ‘rigorous’? If universities continue to train far greater numbers of Classics and Ancient History PhDs than there are academic posts, how might they better support their doctorates to make a success of a school based career? Four short presentations (of up to 15 minutes each, followed by 10 minutes of related preliminary discussion) addressing these key issues will be followed by an open plenary discussion (20 minutes) of wider issues of sustainability as they impact upon our discipline and broad subject community.
